Abstract: Cuba has been seeking a new agricultural development path since the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the socialist international division of labour. This article outlines some of the main historical traits of Cuban agriculture and the major innovations that have occurred more recently in its efforts to reconstruct its agrarian relations. The key aspects of the recent evolution of Cuban agrarian relations are the initiatives in biodiversification and reorganization of production in Basic Units of Cooperative Production.
